Hello. I have looked on the 'K' Menu as RandomGoon said. But I cannot find a menu choice nameded QtParted. I have looked in "Utilities,System,Settings,KNOPPIX,Developemen t, and Appication menu items. I still cannot find menu item with the name or title QTParted. The desktop wall paper( windwos terminology there) syas Knoppix Version 3.3 if that helps.

Maybe RandomGoon was suggesting a program that comes with a newer version of knoppix then i have ?? I did say I downloaded and burned the CD I am using here over 2 years ago in my original message. I got the latest version at that time.

I any case can someone help me with this problem

[EDIT] Ok I started a shell. I typed in qtparted. That got me to the program. Window that showed a normal file menu, what looks like a group of 5 greyed out tools icons/tabs, then on the left side a tree diagram showing /dev/hda.

I click on that icon and a blank dialog box come up with the title "Progress" then it diappears and the whole QTparted window closes. I look in the shell and it says "Error: Unable to open disk /dev/hda Unrecongised disk label. Errore" What is wrong here. I am almost at my wits end with this machine. I feel like just throwing it in the garbage.
